No doubt. As I said, I'm not sure there's a single right answer. I think it'd be prudent to consider such a socket change early in the release cycle, not late. If you can fix the testsuite with just the --once change (or something else), then I am suggesting we consider that (more pressing issue) independently of fixing this particular race. > If you want to keep the racy behavior for users (for its other benefits) I can > propose a patch fixing only the testsuite and not affecting the normal > gdbserver executions by users in any way. Sounds like a plan. -- Pedro Alves
